In one aspect the data processing unit is operated in a first activity monitoring mode in which the data processing unit is adapted to update the activity index value based on the acceleration data. In addition, the processing unit is configured to determine if and to update the activity index value only if, the acceleration data corresponds to walking- and/or running-related movements of the person. In another aspect the device detects features of the acceleration data that correspond to the cadence of walking. In other aspects the data processing unit further detects periodic motions and determines the frequency of the periodic motions from the acceleration data. In other aspects the device determines whether the acceleration data is within a predetermined range and only updates the activity index if the data is within that range.

Title: Mass spectrometers
Inventor: PHILIP FREEDMAN
IPC: H01J49/32
Filed: 2015-12-21
Abstract: ICP-MS apparatus is described with a plasma ion source 1 and a multi-collector mass analyser containing an entrance slit 6, electrostatic analyser 7, analysing magnet 8 and multiple ion collectors 9. In accordance with the invention, an additional magnetic field 10 is applied after the plasma ion source but before the entrance slit of the multi-collector mass analyser. This additional magnetic field deflects ions in the ion beam according to their momentum and so for ions of the same nominal energy acts as a pre mass selector. Such apparatus provides a reduction of the low mass background ions entering the mass analyser in order to enhance the abundance sensitivity of the mass spectrometer for higher mass ions. Line of sight restrictions between the ICP source and the entrance slit also prevents neutrals from entering the analyser.
